Get Your Free Angular 2 Book Chapters

Here are some pretty awesome Angular 4 Tables below which I have found to be the best of the best at the moment of writing this article. Tables are the essential building blocks of any great web application. Now we can build tables as Angular 4 components which can operate independently and it some cases you can just plug them it and they will work with your app.

As you know tables are not generally suited to mobile-centric designs and natively they don’t offer any functionality out of the box. In the case of mobile they basically just display data and that’s cool in most cases (as long as the styles are not broken and you can scroll the table rows easily).

However, with the web going all latest technologies and more modern web apps being build every day you might desire something more advanced from your tables functionality, such as responsive layouts, dynamic sorting, filtering of results, wildcard typeaheads, column sorting and other advanced features.

Featured: Handsontable

Handsontable is a JavaScript Spreadsheet component for web apps. It provides a spreadsheet experience you are already familiar with, so you can start working effectively from day one. It was created for developers, is high performance, and works with Angular.

It allows you to change, sort, and filter data, and gives you the ability to manually and programmatically change the order, size, and placement of columns and rows. While the grid component provides all the data grid operations on the front-end, it is also prepared to support back-end data operations through a wide range of callbacks.WebsiteDemos
